"Even if you have an unusual
name don't rely on it alone to
identify your social security ac­
count,” Cummins cautioned.
Many unusual names are not so
unusual wh;re the social security
account records are concerned.
He advised workeds not to at­
tempt to memorize their social
security numbers. “A change or
transposition of one digit might
result in crediting your earnings
to another person,” he declared.
In conclusion, Cummins said:
"No matter whether your name
is John Smith or Ichabod Crane,
be sure that it is reported along
with your number just as both
appear on your social security
card. If you change your name,
ask for another card, which will
show your new names but th,,
old number. An application may
be obtained at any Post Office or
Social Security Administration of­
fice. Once a social security num­
ber is issued to you, it is yours
for life. It is your link to the
record of your earnings which
will set the amount of your pay-
ments.”
Cummins may be contacted on
the second floor of the Court
House m St. Helens, any Wedn.s-
day, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. for infor­
mation about your social security
status.

Sheriff's "Push"
Pulls a Vote
Waa talking with our newly
elected Sheriff Williams the
other day. He told me about a fel­
low w ho stopped by his place late
one night Just before election.
“Heard a knock at the door,’’
he said. “Fellow I never saw be­
fore. Told me his car went dead
down the road and would I give
him a shove. My boy, Flip, and I
went out to his car with him.
We’re all set to push when he
steps on the starter and the
motor turns over.
“Well, Flip and I just stood
there when the fellow leans out
the window and says, ‘Just
wanted to make sure you’re the
right man to vote for’.”
From »here I sit, the fellow
» ho’s quick to lend a hand make»
any community a better one. But
you don't have to run for office
to prove you're a good neighbor
One way I know is just to have a
little regard for the other fellow.
Whether your neighbor likes beer
or buttermilk, don’t try to puah
him to your choice. Just give hint
your “vote of confidence.”
